A lot of those ads are the type that tell you to send an SMS to them from your phone so that they can charge you $20 a month. Click on one sometime; it's a bunch of nonsense.
People sharing original files have purchased a copy, but there's a major difference between that and lending a copy to someone. With a library book, only one person can use it at a time. With file sharing, many people can use something at once.
I think they assume nobody is dumb enough to copy an entire book. Even if at that library they don't care enough to check, that doesn't mean they support or allow it; they've just never had a book copying problem.
but since they are SALARY employees, not a % of sales profiters, they loose nothing, as long as there is a minimum sales/month quota reached by sales/marketing including upgrades.
It's a zero-sum game. If less money is made, there's less to go around and salaries will suffer overall.
The library has already paid for the books, and they're only lending out copies they own. Your analogy would be correct if the "shady little wench" let people use a copy machine to make copies of entire books.
Okay, here's the article that that report is based off of. The only bill it mentions is one that a Senator is considering; it's nowhere near being made law.
"Did you know that there is new legislation about to be passed that makes it a felony for any newspaper/journalist to publish a story about FISA, or about GWB's wiretapping program?"
In the weeks following September the 11th, I authorized a terrorist surveillance program to detect and intercept al Qaeda communications involving someone here in the United States. This is a targeted program to intercept communications in which intelligence professionals have reason to believe that at least one person is a member or agent of al Qaeda or a related terrorist organization. The program applies only to international communications. In other words, one end of the communication must be outside the United States
It says that the AG can wiretap without a court order (i.e. a warrant) only if "there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party." He has to get a court order if the conversation involves someone in the US.
Okay, Bush wasn't breaking the law himself; he just asked his AG to break the law for him.

"Holding down the shift key is not a prosecutable circumvention technique."
Why is that?
"the needs of the intelligence community"
Or the needs of those in control of the intelligence community.
Terrorism is a crime. Murder is a crime. You don't think that the FBI and police use intelligence?
Actually, more often than not the power company doesn't have to purchase excess energy.

Quit being such a pessimist!
Where have I heard that line before?
"we look back on it fondly"
We do?
It happens occasionally.

WTF kind of "right" is that? I don't need Microsoft to tell me that I can use software I already have.

If people think companies' products suck so much, then why do they put so much effort into getting them without paying?
How is the parent a troll? Does some mod feel the need to silence what they don't agree with?

Citation please.
I think they can ask for either an ID or a signature.
oh right you're a coward
What is liberal about the GP? Why do you capitalize "liberal"?
What does habeus corpus have to do with wiretapping?
"It also explicitly says that congress has no control over how the president chooses to defend the country."
Where does the Constitution say that?

It's illegal under FISA.
oops, had a Bush quote there but removed it and forgot to change the title.
